I love drawing portraits

As a child, I loved to draw but couldn't find anything to draw on so used the centre pages of lined school jotters.

Then I stole chalk, drew on walls I was in trouble again, this was in the 1950s.

I persevered and taught myself after leaving school so anyone who is determined to do it can. I was in foster care with no encouragement it was very frustrating not to be allowed to draw, so never give up!
